Why are written limits in a Constitution more effective in making power accountable?

Correct answer: Because citizens and courts can use them as reference

Correct answer: A. Written constitutional limits clearly state what public authorities may do and what they may not do. Because the rules are recorded and publicly available, citizens, representatives, lawyers, and courts can refer to the same standard when examining government action. If a law or decision violates a constitutional limit, it can be questioned through legal and judicial processes. A is correct because a written standard makes accountability concrete rather than dependent only on a ruler’s promise or changing interpretation. B is wrong: constitutional rules are meant to be known and publicly discussed, not secret. C is wrong: limits restrain government; they do not make it unlimited. D is wrong: precise written rights usually make protection clearer, although their interpretation may sometimes require legal reasoning. Memory cue: written limits create a visible yardstick for measuring power.
